The question of whether the peace deal in the Ethiopian conflict will hold depends on the next steps to be taken by Eritrean forces, a crucial party to the war but whose post-conflict engagements have not been explained.
On Friday, the Ethiopian government had a public clash with the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), a first verbal exchange since the two sides signed a cessation of hostilities agreement on November 2, in South Africa.
